The Christian meaning of Easter of course is the resurrection of Jesus Christ symbolizing eternal life for all who believe in him.  I was raised Catholic (not practicing for many years now) and although that was certainly what we were taught and why we went to church on Easter Sunday I must say that for me […]

Birth and Death

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008

This week at work my boss gave birth to her first child. The very next day one of our volunteers died. I was struck by how life and death go hand in hand.
